Exquisite Fishing Full Walkthrough: Ocean Roadmap
To conquer the depths in Exquisite Fishing, you must progress through four distinct ocean biomes. Each ocean requires a specific boat upgrade to access, and features deeper waters, more valuable fish, and unique character encounters. Attempting to fish in deeper areas without upgrading your gear will result in missed catches and wasted time.

| Biome | Required Boat | Access Cost | Depth Range | Major Target | Max Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calm Ocean | Regular Old Boat | 0g | 50m–300m | Angler | 10,000g |
| Rocky Ocean | Regular Boat | 1,500g | 100m–600m | Angler | 13,000g |
| Turbulent Ocean | Reinforced Boat | 5,000g | 50m–1,000m | Shark | 24,000g |
| Dark Ocean | Golden Boat | 8,000g | 50m–2,000m | Angler | 45,000g |
Always prioritize buying the next boat upgrade before purchasing optional vanity items or expensive late-game gifts. Unlocking deeper oceans is the fastest way to multiply your gold income.
Step-by-Step Biome Progression
Navigating the ocean depths requires a strict upgrade path. Follow this step-by-step sequence to optimize your gold earnings and unlock every ocean biome without getting stuck.
Dominate the Calm Ocean
Start with the free Regular Old Boat. Cast your line and guide the lure toward the 50m mark to catch the Mermaid using a Regular Hook and Diamond Ring for 300g. Once you save up, upgrade your setup to catch the 200m Shark, and finally farm the 300m Angler for a massive 10,000g payout.
Conquer the Rocky Ocean
Purchase the Regular Boat for 1,500g to unlock the Rocky Ocean. Here, targets range from 100m down to 600m. Focus on catching the Kappa at 500m (7,500g) and the Angler at 600m (13,000g) using the Reinforced Hook and Vibrant Rose.
Survive the Turbulent Ocean
Spend 5,000g on the Reinforced Boat. This biome introduces the Whale at 50m (2,500g) and the deep-sea Shark at 900m (24,000g). You must also reach the absolute bottom at 1,000m to retrieve Grandpa's Letter, a vital story collectible.
Reach the Dark Ocean Abyss
Purchase the Golden Boat for 8,000g to access the final biome. This zone spans from 50m down to 2,000m. Upgrade your gear sequentially to handle the extreme tension, culminating in the 2,000m Angler catch using the Omega Hook and Diamond Ring for 45,000g.
Deeper fish pull back much harder. If you attempt to reel in a 1,500m+ target with an unupgraded hook, the line will snap instantly, losing both the catch and your equipped gift.
Gear and Hook Upgrade Priorities
Your equipment dictates how deep you can fish and which creatures you can successfully reel in. The shop sells boats, hooks, and gifts. Use this comparison to plan your purchases.

Q: What is the best way to farm gold in the early game?
The best method is targeting the Calm Ocean Angler at 300m. It only requires the basic Regular Hook and a Box of Chocolates, but rewards you with 10,000g per catch.

Grandpa's Letter is a story item located at the very bottom (1,000m) of the Turbulent Ocean. You need the Reinforced Boat to reach this depth.
